Ki strike question


Rules Discussion


Can Ki Strike be used with Tiger Slash?

And is Ki strike damage doubled on a crit?

No, both Ki Strike and Tiger Slash are separate actions.

Yes, the only things that aren't doubled are effects that come from critical hits.

Yup, I agree with Squiggit.

Ki Strike is a special action (a spell) that contains the simple Strike action, and Tiger Slash is a special action that contains the Strike action. They don't contain each other.

And yes as well, everything is doubled on a crit other than "Benefits you gain specifically from a critical hit, like the flaming weapon rune’s persistent fire damage or the extra damage die from the fatal weapon trait, aren’t doubled." according to page 451 of the Core Rulebook.

Don't forget the important part: You can cast Ki Strike and deliver it through a Flurry of Blows rather than a simple strike. Moar damage.
